What are Match Trading grants?

This year, more than 250 social entrepreneurs will use Match Trading™ grants. So what is this new type of funding?

Match Trading grants, created by the School for Social Entrepreneurs, help socially-driven organisations build more sustainable futures.

That’s because Match Trading grants incentivise social entrepreneurs to grow by focusing on sales and trading.

It is a beautifully simple concept. Match Trading grants pound-for-pound match an increase in trading income. That means social entrepreneurs can effectively double their money when they make income from trading and sales.

By rewarding sales growth, Match Trading empowers social entrepreneurs operating in challenging markets to develop their trading base, so they can build stronger futures. Match Trading was borne from SSE’s 20 years of experience of helping people to create sustainable change in their communities.
